Hi Kurt, I adhere. But our friend Michael can do a <as he sees fit> search on CERT.org or your place SecurityPortal.com, just to obtain some docs on _legal_ twisted issues. Do you have any of them there?? (Just wondering) Bring us some carefully selected _url's_ if you wish. Cheers. =8`) ---- Kurt Seifried wrote:
Often times the attacks are launched from compromised machines that the admin is not aware of. Most admins are way to over worked keeping things working to have time to proactively fix security problems, so they end up being reactive, if they are lucky. A nice note notifying them is more then enough, no need to sue. Generally speaking it is exceedingly rare for a professional admin to attack others. I would spend my time on securing my network and possibly helping others to secure theirs.
